Tim Walton’s formula for winning softball isn’t all that complicated. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the combination of good pitching and home runs works quite well for Walton and the Florida Gators, who followed the formula to perfection three straight games this weekend as they captured the NCAA Gainesville Regional without really breaking a sweat.
Using the same methodology that worked so well in games one and two — an early home run and strong pitching from Stephanie Brombacher — the Gators disposed of Florida International 13-3 Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 1,503 at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Brittany Schutte delivered the home run, a first inning grand slam, and Brombacher did the rest, allowing only four hits while striking out seven in the game abbreviated to five innings because of the mercy rule.
The win advanced the Gators to next weekend’s NCAA Super Regional in Gainesville against Arizona State, which breezed though the Amherst Regional in three games, taking the championship game over Long Island University, 9-1. This marks the third consecutive year the Gators have won their regional and hosted a Super Regional. Florida is fourth-seeded nationally while Arizona State is seeded #13.
“This is huge for the stability of our program,” Florida coach Tim Walton said. “I said at the beginning of the year that this would be one of the most important years of our program just because of how much success we’ve had in the past and whether or not we were going to be able to transition from one pitcher (Stacey Nelson) to another and Stephanie certainly answered that call.”
Brombacher answered the call Sunday and she didn’t have to wait long to get all the support she needed thanks to Schutte. Schutte’s grand slam, the first of her Florida career and 15th home run of the season, was the only ball that left the infield in a five-run first inning. FIU starter Kasey Barrett couldn’t find the plate and when she did, Schutte was there to jump all over an offering on the outside corner to drive it off the scoreboard in left center field.
Barrett (19-13) walked leadoff batter Michelle Moultrie on four pitches and followed that up by hitting Aja Paculba. After Kelsey Bruder loaded the bases when her hard grounder to second was booted by Brie Rojas, Barrett plated the first run by hitting Francesca Enea in the knee. That set the stage for Schutte who went the opposite way for the first of Florida’s two home runs on the day.
“That’s been our game plan the whole year,” Walton said. “We’ve done a good job all season when you look at our statistical line of the number of walks, the number of hit by pitches — they’re greater than our strikeouts. We score runs in bunches and it’s not the first time we’ve scored five in an inning. You take what you’ve got and you’ve got to go with it.
“Our players did a great job; we really executed. That first inning was about as well executed a game plan as you could talk about. She had been leaving her pitches out over the inside part of the plate. We noticed that against UCF in the first inning two days ago — she hit a batter and walked a batter, a bit shaky at the start. We went in with that game plan to look for a pitch over the inside part of the plate early and obviously Brittany Schutte is the opposite, she’s lefthanded so she was looking for a pitch outside early and she was able to get that.”
FIU put up a first inning fight by bunching three hits and an error for two runs off Brombacher, but their joy was short-lived. Brombacher settled down and gave up only one hit the rest of the way, a solo home run by Rojas in the fourth. For the day, Brombacher (32-6, 1.97 ERA) faced 20 batters and used an efficient 84 pitches in her third consecutive dominating performance.
In games one and two of the Gainesville Regional, Brombacher pitched shutout softball, allowing only a combined four hits while striking out 18. Walton said there was no hesitation to give Brombacher the start for the third straight day.
“The way she pitched the last two games, I’ve got to give her the ball,” Walton said. “She had to have the ball today and really pitched well. I know she didn’t pitch the way she would like to — (Jennifer) Rocha our pitching coach doesn’t like to give up any runs and three is too many for her — but I still think Stephanie did a good job of pitching today.”
The Gators piled on to their lead in the third with two more runs. Megan Bush smacked a one-out double to left and one out later Corrie Brooks, who hits eighth in the lineup, hit a towering two-run homer over the left field fence, her ninth home run and the 100th homer the Gators have hit this year.
This is Walton’s fifth season as Florida’s head coach and in every season the Gators have broken the school record for home runs in a season. Walton said it’s all about the way the Gators approach things.
“It’s just about the way we practice and the way we mentally approach hitting and how good that lineup is from one through nine,” Walton said. “Your eight hole hitter hits a 270-foot home run and does it regularly.”
FIU switched pitchers in the fourth, bringing in Jennifer Gniadek but she fared no better against the Florida lineup, which parlayed three hits, a walk, a hit batter and a wild pitch into five runs.
Paculba got things started with a one-out walk and she moved to third when Kelsey Bruder bounced a single through the right side of the infield with Bruder taking second on the throw. Enea got hit for the second time in the game to load the bases for Schutte, who walked on four pitches to drive home Paculba. Bush followed that up with a two-run single that extended Florida’s lead to 10-2 and send Schutte to third. Schutte came home on a wild pitch and Bush finished out the scoring when she came home on a hard single by Tiffany DeFelice, whose scorching one-hopper caromed off the glove of third baseman Kelsey Grabiak and into left field.
The Gators finished off the Panthers with a single run the fifth with a Bruder opposite field single to left, a walk to Schutte and a towering pop fly by Bush that dropped between Rojas, center fielder Seldi Soberon and right fielder Ashley McClain.
GAME NOTES: Brombacher moved into a tie for second place with Stacey Stephens (74-6) on the all-time wins list. Brombacher is 74-6 for her career … Brombacher has 534 strikeouts for her career. With four more she will move past Chelsey Sakizzle into fourth place all-time … Enea has been hit by a pitch 11 times this season and 28 times in her Florida career. Enea also had an RBI, the 65th of the season and 221st of her career. She is the all-time SEC leader in home runs with 61 … The home run by Brooks was the 25th of her career, good for seventh place all time.
